Five phases in a day

From 5.3 to 7.8, each phase a judgment and a gap list

Five phases were built and judged between the morning and the night of 11 September. Each one: the implementer builds against a brief, renders twelve fixed-camera stills and 96 free-orbit frames, measures every target, and reports. The coordinator re-runs every check, scores against the look-lock, and writes the next brief from the gaps.

Phase 02 fixed the cameras and the sun and planted 3,921 trees; 14 homes were still inside the river bank strips. Phase 03 gave the ground one masked mesh per era and the water a shared shader; 19 craft overlapped 12 cottages. Phase 04 moved every craft to the beach and rebuilt the Fort House in authored masonry; the Island met its colour target by a tint and read as a lawn. Phase 05 made the Island poor pasture on its own tile and put every object on the sand; the plinth met "at least 25 darker" at 140 and rendered black. Phase 06 gave the Island grain and the roof and plinth their materials, and found that a direct browser load rendered every authored surface in the wrong light while the judged captures did not.

Three of those failures were the coordinator's own targets: a borrowed colour, a floor without a ceiling, a rectangle on a surface the brief itself broke up. They are ruled as coordinator errors in the log, not held against the builder. The score went 5.3, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 7.8. Generation spend for the five phases: about the price of a paperback.
